Alabama Dems Are Fighting

Dem Dysfunction In Alabama Threatens Jones’ Reelection Bid.

Newsmax:

Bitter in-fighting among Alabama Democrats threatens to scuttle an already tough re-election battle for Sen. Doug Jones in one of the nation’s reddest states, The Hill reported.

The yearlong power struggle between Jones and Nancy Worley, who heads the state’s Democratic Party organization, includes charges of discrimination and intimidation, the news outlet reported.

According to The Hill, though both Jones and Worley are white, their allies are black — and acrimony is sharp between the African American Democrats who were on the front lines of civil rights fights in the ’50s and ’60s and a group of young leaders who claim they’re being shut out of the party.

In a letter to Tom Perez, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee — who’s withheld money meant to build up the state party — two of Alabama’s representatives to the DNC called it “a urinating contest” between factions at war over the future of the state party.

The feud began in August 2018, when Jones made it known he wanted Worley to step aside. Instead, Worley ran for another term — beating back the entire slate Jones supported.

Two groups of Alabama Democrats then challenged the election results with the DNC. 

In February, the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee vacated the August election results and ordered the state Democratic Party to come up with new bylaws meant to increase representation of minority and members of the LGBT community among party leadership.

When Worley ignored deadlines, the DNC revoked Worley and her vice chair’s credentials.

  1. We need to send a thanks to Mitch McConnell for having this tapeworm in office in the first place. His meddling cost us a seat that was ours solidly. Now it’s a fight to get it back and anyone the republicans run will have to play ball with Mitch.
    Can you die already Mitch?

  2. That’s a shame.
    “… new bylaws meant to increase representation of minority and members of the LGBT community among party leadership.”

    What’s wrong with “proportion?”
    If, say, some “minority” makes up 0.073% of the Demonrat voter base, then allot them 0.073% of the “leadership.”
    Do the same with the fags, queers, cocksuckers, split-lickers, dykes, dog-sniffers, cat-fornicators, sheep-shuckers, and goat-loving ragheads.

    Simple solutions for simple problems!

    You’re welcome, Alabama Demonrats!

  3. Police states use propaganda by disguising tyranny by using cartoons, minimizing important stories, distracting people from scandals by running stories about defective families or bread and circuses, glorifying government successes, and diverting attention from domestic problems by focusing on crises in foreign countries.

  4. WDS, ain’t that the truth. I thought Romney was a super-duper businessman, yet here is, leeching off the taxpayers again. I sure hope those assholes Corker and Flake stay retired.
